This week’s art is a digital Pop Art painting of the original design for Big Boy. Created by legendary animator, Ben Washam, in 1937, this was the look of the iconic restaurant chain until the mid 1950s, when the character was redesigned for franchisees nationwide. I saw a plastic figure of the original design last month at the Frisch’s Big Boy in London, Kentucky, and thought it looked cool enough to be the subject of a painting.
